Helper script to upload overcloud images.

[sathlan]

This ease the process of uploading rdo overcloud-full image to the
glance image store of your cloud.

I don't understand what this script is for. Is the image being uploaded to the host cloud (rdo cloud)?

How does it get used?

[sathlan]

It uploads rdo prepared images to the openstack image. The thing is that rdo prepared image (current-tripleo/overcloud-full.tar) comes with three images (ari,aki,image), so this script is just an helper that takes care of passing the right parameter to glance for the three images.

Given you used overcloud-full-newton as a name to the cli, you can use it by passing:

parameters:
overcloud_image: overcloud-full-newton

for instance.

I still don't understand what this is used for.

Can you clarify "It uploads rdo prepared images to the openstack image"?

What is "openstack image"? With what instance of glance api does this script communicate?

What process needs to do this task? If it's CI, this needs to be in tripleo-quickstart. If it's a user, it needs to live in our project repositories (tripleoclient/tripleo-common). If it's traas specific, I need to understand the reasoning as to why that's the case.
